ABSTRACT

The relations between Hanuabadans and the Europeans of Port Moresby are dominated by a number of themes, some of which assist the villagers to overcome their difficulties, others of which create new problems of critical importance in any estimation of welfare. Many of the former have already been touched upon; and if this chapter tends somewhat to concentrate upon the latter, the reader should be warned that, quantitatively speaking, the occurrence of good and helpful relations is more frequent than the qualitative account might suggest.
